Investment Associate at CV VC
Check size: CV VC publicly invests up to $500,000 in pre-seed and seed companies meeting its MVP and initial-traction criteria. No personal check-size authority is published for Nicolas.
Nicolas evaluates pre-seed and seed companies within CV VC's current frontier-technology mandate: AI-native automation, intelligent B2B systems, and programmable digital finance, with blockchain used where trust and authenticity matter. There is not enough first-person public material to assign him a narrower personal sector thesis; firm portfolio tags should be treated as team exposure, not personal ownership.
Use CV VC's application route with an MVP, pilot or revenue evidence. Explain the customer problem, why AI or blockchain is structurally necessary, the technical and data moat, initial usage, unit economics, security or compliance, and the milestone a $500K-or-less investment would unlock. Avoid attributing a highly specific personal thesis without confirming it in the conversation.
Founders with an MVP, an initial pilot or revenue, determination to define a new category, a necessary use of frontier technology, and evidence that the product changes how businesses transact, produce, or decide.
No personal pass list is public. CV VC's published process implies weaker fit for companies without an MVP or initial traction, non-frontier products, superficial AI, blockchain without utility, and teams outside the firm's pre-seed/seed and geographic focus.
Before deeper diligence, verify a working MVP and at least one concrete traction signal such as a pilot, usage, or revenue, matching CV VC's published requirements.
Separate products genuinely enabled by AI, blockchain, or another frontier technology from products using the label without a structural capability or trust advantage.
